Visually, the quality of the style is top notch, though the colours (cyan) overuse is questionable. At a glance, I would say you have used to much cyan, staring at it for a period of time gives off a bad migrain. Try changing the text colour in the .thead area so that people don't need to press theirnoses to read the text. Sure we know what text/title is there but that is not the point for us short sighted freaks of nature.
I noticed your using the forum icons I design, I am quite sure i did an orange set which are submitted in the vb.org image databse. Try using the orange variations to break out of the cyan blue you used.
I'd also suggest changing the default icons in the (what's going area) stats.gif, whos_online.gif etc. Check the vb.org databse for misc images that are both consistent with your them and at the same time compliment and break out the theme.
Looking in the threaddisplay I noticed the default threadmarkers. Set about changing these for custom ones they'll certainly give off a more visual experience in this area.
I'd also do something with the logo. Implement some colour, give it some life and try not to use the cyan colour.
Overall, the layout is clean as is the images and style it's just the extreme use of cyan you used throughout the style which keeps the style looking mediocre when it could be an excellent looking style by making a few colour changes on the icons and images an in the style css.
